Economic Renewal for Rural Virginia

As your Congressman, Paul is committed to being a strong voice for Virginia’s farmers, producers, agribusinesses, and rural families in Washington. He will prioritize practical, results-driven policies that support the backbone of the 5th District’s economy—agriculture and rural enterprise. Paul will work to advance the interests of Virginia’s crop and livestock producers by addressing trade challenges, improving access to capital, and expanding opportunities in both domestic and international markets. He will advocate for policies that safeguard the viability of family farms and ensure the long-term strength of Virginia’s rural economy. Recognizing that healthcare access should not depend on where you live, Paul is equally committed to improving health outcomes across rural Virginia. He will fight for investments to grow and sustain a robust rural healthcare workforce—including physicians, nurses, dentists, midwives, and community health workers. He will also support local institutions training the next generation of care providers and work to expand access to telehealth services across underserved areas. Additionally, Paul understands that high-speed internet is no longer a luxury—it is essential infrastructure. He will champion continued investment in broadband expansion and advocate for federal grant programs that help schools, small businesses, hospitals, and first responders stay connected. Whether it’s helping students’ complete homework, enabling telehealth appointments, or supporting local entrepreneurs, Paul will ensure that rural Virginians aren’t left behind in the digital age.
